SA [redacted] called from Miami. He said that an individual by the name of [redacted], [redacted] Tacoma, Washington, had checked into the Fontin[guess: bleu] with $40,000 in cash. He told various real estate people he wanted to buy real estate in Miami and is currently looking for some.

He is described as:

Race: White Sex: Male Age: 47-50 Height: 5'9" Weight: 150 lbs. Eyes: Blue Hair: Brown Telephone No.: [redacted]

[redacted] said it was his thought may be he was our hijacker.

I told him he did not necessarily fit the description but to check the serial numbers on the $20.00 bills against the list which he should have. He said he would do this.

He suggested that even though he does not fit the description, we should determine through available sources in Tacoma, just who he is and how he happens to have $40,000 in cash.
